I read the book that the Ninth Gate is based on. I think its called The Club Dumas or something. The book is really cool especially when it references forging books.

In no order.

1. The Thing

2. Alien

3. Halloween

4. Poltergeist

5. Jaws

6. It

7. The Shining

8. Leprechaun 6

I'm 35 and remember watching them on WGN on Sunday mornings. I watch them once a year with the kids and they love them too...even though they wonder why there is no color. "Hold that Ghost" is one of my favorites, too along with "A & C Meet the Mummy".

Most of the oldie but goody Classics I like have already been listed, but around Halloween time we always turn down the lights and turn up the volume up and watch Sleepy Hollow.

 

Campy, but atmospheric.

Here's some of my favorite horror movies:

Friday the 13th (1 through 3 are the best of the series IMO)

Halloween (1 and 2)

The Burning

The Thing (John Carpenter's)

Amityville Horror (original)

Burnt Offerings

The Exorcist

The Entity

Evil Dead II (all are good though)

Sleepaway Camp

My Bloody Valentine

Dark Night of the Scarecrow

The Children (this movie scared the crud out of me when I was younger - lol)

All the old Universal Monster Movies (esp. Creature from the Black Lagoon)

Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstien (I wouldn't call this "horror", but I'm putting it here anyways)

Pumpkinhead

Phantasm scared the doody out of me when I was a kid.

 

I like almost all of the classics. I also like a lot of Japanese and Chinese horror movies - Chinese Ghost Stories comes to mind. Takashi Miike made a hysterical zombie movie called The Happiness of the Katakuris about a family that runs a bed and breakfast where all the guests end up turning into zombies. And, it's a musical. Sound of Music meets Dawn of the Dead.

I'm a pretty big Miike fan, so of course I saw "The Happiness of the Katakuris"!

Great, but strange, flick! If you haven't seen some of his other stuff,

check out the following three flicks as soon as possible!

 

"Audition"

"Ichi the Killer"

"Dead or Alive"

Audition is one of my favorites. The first time I watched it, my wife and I were surfing channels and saw it was on Sundance. We didn't look at what it was about, only saw that it got 3 stars. It seemed like a sweet little romance story until about halfway through the movie, then...holy :censored: That woman had issues.
